Dawnton Rumors

​

Orug Foram discovered the second victim in front of his general store. He says he fought the murderer before he escaped, but has been known to stretch a point in the name of a good story.

​

Another stranger, this one tall and quiet with a patch of hair missing from the back of his head, has been in town for about as long as the Pathfinders have. He sometimes asks more questions about the accused than is considered seemly in these parts.

​

Everybody knows Ekira hated Pathfinders even before this series of murders. She was elated—almost disturbingly so—at the decision to execute the condemned prisoners.

​

When he arrived at the second murder site, Sheriff Luin found a dagger that fit a sheath belonging to one of the Pathfinders.

​

Ekira says that Iomedae began speaking to her directly after she arrived in Dawnton. She’s thinking about s

​

You know, I heard when the Pathfinders were arrested, the accused halfling had blood all over his hands and clothes."

​

Ekira says that Iomedae began speaking to her directly after she arrived in Dawnton. She’s thinking about setting down roots here, establishing a church, maybe even challenging Sheriff Tobias Luin for the title of mayor.

​

Some aren’t sure the prisoners are guilty, but it’s hard to get anybody to speak his mind with that inquisitor throwing accusations and the whole crowd screaming to see some necks get stretched.

​

I [Orug Foram] saw the second murder myself, It's true! A large guy. And then he goes running off in the night.

​

Otto, a farmer who lives just outside Dawnton, found the body of the first victim the morning the accused Pathfinders arrived. He’s still going about his business as though nothing had happened.

​

On the night of the first murder, two of the murderers were seen dancing in a devil’s circle in the woods outside of town.

​

Two small children saw one of the Pathfinders mutilating the body of the second victim. They barely escaped when the Pathfinder chased them.

EVIDENCE For the Prosecution

1. The murders began the night the Pathfinders came to town and ceased as soon as the Pathfinders were arrested. 2. At the scene of the second murder, Luin found a dagger belonging to Dakota Spire, one of the dwarven Pathfinders. 3. All three Pathfinders were seen at Otto’s farm just hours before someone found the first victim there. 4. Ekira received an anonymous letter from a concerned but frightened citizen identifying the Pathfinders as the murderers.

​

Please help. I know you are innocent and that your friends are innocent. The real killer has me trapped in a house at the edge of town, near the fair. It’s the one with white walls and two chimneys. He made me write the letters to trap them and you. He has left to kill again and locked me in the attic. I will try to get one of the children at the fair to bring you this letter. Please rescue me.
